Blacklock Covent Garden
Blacklock Covent Garden is a steak and chophouse on Bedford Street, a short walk from the Piazza and the West End theatres. It serves chops and steaks for lunch and dinner from Monday to Saturday and a Sunday roast on Sundays, in a relaxed, no-fuss setting.

The idea
Blacklock built its name on chops cooked over heat and served without ceremony. The brand describes itself as unpretentious and open to everyone, and that shows in the room: it is a place for a hearty meal with friends rather than a hushed fine-dining experience. Covent Garden is one of several London branches, alongside Soho, the City, Shoreditch and Canary Wharf.
When to go
Monday is worth noting: Butcher Price Monday offers larger chops at butcher-style prices for both lunch and dinner. On Sundays the menu switches to a roast only, which makes it a popular weekend meeting point. During the week it works well as a pre-theatre dinner given how close the Strand and Covent Garden theatres are. Booking ahead is wise for evening and Sunday tables.
Nearby
Bedford Street runs between the Strand and the Covent Garden Piazza, so after eating you can stroll to the market halls, or to The Harp, a small traditional pub around the corner. For coffee and pastries the next morning, Qima Café is close by, and the Z Hotel Trafalgar is next door if you need somewhere simple to stay.
